    Solution

    Ledger  accounts that contain transactions related to individuals or other organizations with whom your business has direct transactions are known as personal accounts. Some examples of personal accounts are customers, vendors, salary accounts of employees,  drawings  and  capital  accounts of owners, etc. Capital account is a personal account because it records transactions between the owner of the business and the business itself. The owner invests money in the business, which is recorded in the capital account. Any withdrawals made by the owner from the business are also recorded in the capital account. The golden rule of accounting for personal accounts is:  debit  the receiver and  credit  the giver .
